What was the board's reaction to this game on release? Was it worse than Netflix's DMC?

Yes

Yes worse since Netflix doesn't mean shit about future games. Everyone was worried a 5 would never come out. It was also one of the major journalists siding with their darlin corporation against "gamers"

people really hated it but honestly it's a pretty good game

people just (rightfully) hated that it took a bunch of jabs at the older games for no reason

devs were homophobic and thought the classic Dante was gay and lame

people liked the gameplay but hated the redesigned.

I don't recall if the devs said something like that in the real world, but that wasn't really the actual joke in the game. He mocks the hair and Dante, yes, but then later his devil trigger gives him practically the same look. I'd say that's just bad banter rather than trying to demean the original personally.

Wasn't here at the time but I got banned off the Devil May cry forums for triggering the people who liked the reboot.

someone here even posts the screenshot from time to time.

It's funny tho... I thought this reboot was one of the worst things that could have happened as a fan/gamer.I had no idea how much worse shit could actually get.

>Was it worse than Netflix's DMC?

They're about an equal level of abomination.

dmc2 and 4 are the bad ones, this game is decent.

My first dmc and only one I liked, still feel robbed purchasing the other games desu.

I liked it pre release and played it on PC around the time MGSV came out. And that too.

With custom controls it was good. Better than DMC4. Though 4 looked better kind of, more English world. Nothing to do but run past it, but nice to be in it or it around.

Initial previews were impressive. But that wasn't gameplay unfortunately. Disappointment I'll never get used to. Good to try for heights as high as you can, not reaching them is failure, but CG shouldn't be subdued. Should make for the future, disregard the hardware out there, force manufacturers to conform to creation rather than constrain it.

It looked good. Had an anarchy feel. Opposed psychology. I identified or assigned what greatness I had to the protagonist. Remaining right despite threat, overcoming it, and what else after surpassing it, you, he, Dante leading. Lazy maybe but not yet. Young in this depiction. Doing and taking done, wild world, looking after ahead rather than what's behind. Faith they'll make it. Or selfish. Freedom, life, more important. Time and death the safety net. No supplicant a.

/a/sian infection didn't like it. Wanted reappropration and emptiness attributed everything. Wanted a nothing surfer to be said special whoa pizza etc so entire castle knight warrior whatever history.

Don't know how to live. Want a formula. Unwilling to hurt, fail, laugh, fight. Unwilling to try. Turned traitors, slaves to the shit strapping Dante etc to beds. Drugs, torture, lobotomy. Anything to ensure they stand level with what stands out. It destroyed. Oppression won in their section of the world. With few examples otherwise. Yang Gia deserves a game or at least a movie. Life on autopilot just an act, but acted so well it's all missed out on. Buddhism shit life doesn't matter unexistance idolisation. Poverty better people. Feel. Have ideals. Rest live in the better world they make. But the poor deserve better, endless adventure, a little good, discarded from what great they hold up.

I liked the part where he wrote fuck you on the clipboard for his name, also the part where he and the secret formula screamed fuck you back and forth. They could have titled the game DMC: Fuck you and it would have had at least two different meanings

I like how Vergil was reimagined as le epic enlightened fedora guy and he snipes a demon baby straight out of a succubus' womb.
